Mornin’, y’all! Welcome to another edition of the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop! This month, our theme is “feminine” – which sort of leaves it wide open, doesn’t it? I’m looking forward to seeing what all our talented ladies come up with – and hope you’ll spend some time exploring the hop when you’re done here!
I decided to use one of the stamp sets we got for free this past weekend at OnStage! It’s called Ribbon of Courage and it’s an absolutely stunning stamp set. Take a look-see:
I played along with the Mojo Monday challenge this week:
Now – this stamp set is part of a bundle in the new catalog:
I picked Pinks and Yellows for the color scheme of my card and Ribbon – yellow for veterans and pink for women. Seemed like a fittin’ choice for me! 😉
I started with a piece of Whisper White card stock, and I stamped all over the top portion, in Basic Black Archival Ink, and covered the panel with the small hearts in the Ribbon of Courage set. I colored each heart with my Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Markers. Then I SNAILd the panel to a Blushing Bride mat.
The smaller middle panel is a piece of Daffodil Delight paper from the Brights DSP Stack, matted on Blushing Bride and SNAILd to the card front.
Then I wrapped a piece of Blushing Bride 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon around the card front, securing it in the back with scotch tape.
For the sentiment, I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to align the sentiment from Ribbon of Courage and stamped it in Basic Black Archival Ink. I matted it on Blushing Bride and popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Next I stamped the beautiful large and detailed ribbon in Basic Black Archival Ink on Whisper White and fussy cut it – there’s a matching die set called the Support Ribbon Framelits, but I don’t have it. Yet! 😉
I colored the large ribbon in Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz, then I used a few Stampin’ Dimensionals and Liquid Glue to adhere the ribbon to the sentiment panel and the card front was done!
On the inside, I added a second Ribbon of Courage sentiment in Basic Black Archival Ink to the middle of a Whisper White panel. Then I added the larger heart and a few small hearts – and colored them with my Stampin’ Write Markers.
I SNAILd the panel to a Blushing Bride mat and into my Daffodil Delight card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
I added more Ribbon of Courage hearts in Basic Black Archival Ink to the front of my Whisper White Medium Envelope, coloring it in the same way I did the hearts on the inside of the card…
…and I added a little more Daffodil Delight paper from the Brights DSP Stack to the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I absolutely love the beautiful designs inside the hearts and the ribbon in this Ribbon of Courage set, and the fonts are gorgeous also! I hope you like – and will be putting this pretty set on your 2017-2018 Annual Catalog wish list! 🙂

That’s awesome Mary! Love the colors and your ribbon looks amazing! Perfect background too! 🙂
Beautifully done, Mary. This set is so nice! Love how you created the card, too!
Thanks, Jari – it’s a really beautiful set! 🙂
That’s a lot of coloring on such an intricate stamp set. It would make beautiful designer series paper. I love the colors you chose. It is truly a beautiful card. Can’t wait for June 1 and June 15!
Two very exciting dates, indeed!! Thank you so much, Karen! 🙂
Beautiful card, Mary.
Thanks, Mom! 🙂
What a great use of the Ribbon of Courage, Mary!
Thanks much, Linda! It’s a beautiful set! 🙂
Beautiful card, Mary!! And, it took you how long to do all that coloring?????
Not sure I am up to that. Don’t they have a DSP you could use? Anyway, love it! I only got through the first 40 pages of the catalog last night, and already have a list!
It really wasn’t that long! Went pretty quickly. I love these images, too! A long list in the new catalog?? I’m shocked! 😉 Thanks, Julie! 🙂
